Been in my current job a good few years now, there are people I've worked with for years who id say I've got decent relationships with and there also new people who I get along with but I'm not mega close with. As a whole we have a really good team and I enjoy my job.
I'm pregnant and don't work full time anymore. Anyway today one of the girls i work with said that she didn't include me in an email about a weekend away for her 30th birthday as it was 2 months after my baby was due and didn't think I would be interested. Before I had chance to ask what her plans were etc for this weekend, all the girls in the office started talking excitedly about this weekend away and about what they've got in stall for her (some surprise), how it's gonna be a great weekend etc. It then transpired they've all got a group on chat about this weekend away where they're all planning stuff etc. I'm not included in this chat and no one has mentioned anything to me about this weekend, although this all came about a week ago. So it's been kept fairly quiet. So I am the only woman in the department who hadn't been involved in any of this.
After the conversation ended I said to 2 of the girls on my side of the office in a joking sort of way, thanks for giving me the heads up on this! I kind of laughed it off etc. These girls I occasionally meet outside of work and stuff and we text regularly outside of work and I thought we were close so I was really surprised that 1.they didn't care to suggest I was included in the chat group and 2. that they didn't even just mention it to me. I felt a little embarrassed and that's the best way to describe it I think. If it were me I wouldn't really like the thought of 1 person in the office not being included in something and I'd perhaps suggest that they were or ask if they should be etc. But no one mentioned it. No one even spoke about it afterwards or filled me in on the plans etc. I honestly feel like an idiot and a little bit down. Aibu?
